Introduction & Interior

An Ebay purchase September 2012 taxed and tested and had been driven daily

which showed …..as everything worked, the car had been serviced regular, and was in great condition and drove really well.

Within a week of ownership the wheels seemed to just find their way into production at

my business The Wheel Restorer where they were stripped and freshly Powder coated

I also treated her to 4 Brand New Michelin Tyres.

Having previously owned another 924S , four 944’s and a 968 over the previous 10 years

I came to the conclusion that this 924S was probably the best car of the lot for many reasons:

The cost of purchase at the time was hard to beat, (Since then values have increased 3 times!),

The driving experience was great, not due to the fact it had been in regular use and was serviced regular but also the slimmer lighter package (1260kg) which is surprisingly similar and less than some modern small hatchbacks especially with heavy diesel engines,

The slippery narrow track & body before Porsche Morphed the chassis into the wider (944),

The fantastic feel of a Manual steering rack and the Skinny 6” wide wheels and tyres really made this standard classic car a perfect balance of 2.5 litres of power, low weight and a joy to drive briskly on the road.

I was using the car for my daily drive and it was just getting better and better.

Then what happened next and the chain of events that followed were not planned or did I realise this car would ever go down such a direction!

An opportunity arose to modify and improve the car’s performance simply at first with some lightweight Kevlar bucket seats………..but then it got a lot more serious………..and then some!
